Startup Boot of 2 XPs on Dynamic Disks

Guest

Hi,
I have two hard drives letters C , D and two XPs (one Home and the other
is Professional). The Problems is I installed Home on my master drive C and
Professional on D, but when windows starts up it only loads Home Edition on
the Multiple Boot (Professional isn't there).
I wanted to reinstall Windows XP Professional again, but since I
updated Home Ed. it won't allow me to install the "older version Windows XP
Professional".
HOW DO I GET THE WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL ED. to show up/working on the
startup boot selection?
(It worked before!)
Thank You in advance.

What do you mean "It worked before"? Could you multiboot the
2 OSes before?
It might help if, using Notepad, you list the contents of C:\boot.ini
(which may be a "hidden" file) for us here. It could be that all you
need is a one-line entry added to your boot.ini file.
